Scrapbook PageI used two different ATD papers from the Paws and Claws collection, sticking one over the entire scrapbook page and cutting the other paper in a circular shape. I added a photo of my ginger Tom Hendrix and the words 'Very Sleepy' with Doodlebug rub- ons and stamps. I then decorated the page with blooms, brads, craft wire, stickles glue and doodling.~~~~~~~~~

CardFor my card I have used an image by Funstamps. I have water coloured the image and clear embossed the fish bowl and the water splashes. The striped paper is from Die Cuts With A View. The image has been matted and layered onto various card stock and Cuttlebug embossing. Embellished with satin ribbon.~~~~~~~~~

CardI used Old world Stack from DCWV for the background I then stamped "Linda's" teddy bear stamp cause he is my favouriteststamp! I then coloured him with watercoloured pencils and made his eyes bead like with glossy accents. I finished it all off with ribbon, brad and tags.~~~~~~~~~

CardI used papers: Tea For Two - Orange Blossom, Tea For Two - Chamomile and Basic Grey Infuse - Introduce. I water coloured my tilda, tilda's cat & Edwins dog stamp, tore the edges of the paper and distressed with my gold dauber duo. I also used my paper artsy words stamp. I embellished with a peach ribbon, prima, gold ribbon, bronze sequins. I mounted on white paper and coloured the egdes with marmalade distress ink.~~~~~~~~~~

CardI have used a dog shape template from Lakeland which I traced onto card and cut out for the base. Out of patterned paper I cut the various elements and glued to the base. I added chalk to his cheeks and FIDO to his name tag and my furry friend is finished.~~~~~~~~~
